Chapter 35: The Great Treasury Robbery (2)
Luo Yucheng Treasury, Xin Sha and his party came to the scene to investigate in person, because they could no longer get any other information from the mouths of several guards, and it was difficult to ensure that they did not exaggerate.
Walking around the treasury, Xinsha could still smell the smell of gold, silver and jewels in the air, but unfortunately now only the shell was left on the surface, but it still made Xinsha find a clue, he knocked on the empty treasure chest used to hold the treasure: "This is not about the passage of locusts, at least these treasure chests are not taken away." ”
Hoin picked up the conversation: "These treasure chests are not very valuable, and the thieves should not look down on them, and it is completely thankless to take them away. ”
Xin Sha raised a finger and waved it left and right: "This is a mistake, Lord Hoin, as the king of a country, naturally has never dealt with thieves, but in the next Jiesan, he was fortunate to get acquainted with the best of them, and also got the guidance of the masters, their industry guidelines pay attention to a goose plucking, beasts go to leave skin, otherwise they only take what they need, the most taboo is to pick and pick, leave clues for people." Therefore, because of the low value of the treasure chest, it is disliked to ignore the means of theft, and it is likely that it is not done by experts. ”
"Lord Xinsha is really smart, just from the remaining treasure chests to deduce so much, amazing!"
Xin Sha wanted to remind Huo Yin more than once that he violated the king's posture like this, and was easy to be despised and disgusted, but when the words came to his lips, he still held back, after all, he couldn't control people's behavior and habits.
"Aside from the time you discovered that the treasury was stolen, when was the last time you opened the treasury for inspection?"
The person in charge of the treasury took out a small notebook and flipped through it: "It's June 1st, it's Children's Day, and His Majesty the King has allocated 100,000 gold coins from the treasury to celebrate the children of the Duchy of Gero. ”
Xin Sha's eyelids jumped and jumped: "In other words, you haven't carried out an inspection of the warehouse for more than a week, and only symbolically sent a guard to squat at the door?"
The person in charge of the national treasury explained, "The reason why there are few inspections of the treasury is that there are treasures in the treasury that have adverse reactions with light and air, so in most cases we try to avoid ......"
Xinsha forcibly interrupted his weak explanation: "Then why don't you store those treasures separately from other treasures? Moreover, the treasury was stolen, and you, as the person directly in charge, did not take the blame and resigned, but continued to be competent, if you put it in the Kazan Empire, not to mention that your official position is not guaranteed, you will even lose your life." ”
As if to wake up the dreamer with a word, Hoin immediately reprimanded the head of the treasury and removed all relevant personnel, including the guards.
"Your Majesty the King......" Everyone was dumbfounded, giving people the feeling that they had been greatly wronged.
Huo Yin's expression became serious: "When will this king's words need to be questioned?"
Despite their submission, Sinsa observed that they were still dissatisfied with the verdict.
Xinsha stopped one of them: "You look very dissatisfied?"
"No, Your Majesty's decision, I dare not complain. ”
"Let's be honest. Sinsa glared at Hoin.
Hoin looked down at the guard who was kneeling on the ground and said impatiently: "Let you tell the truth, and tell what you think is right!"
What do you think is right?Sinsha still captures these details very well, but he can't figure out Hoin's intentions, just as he is reminding his subordinates to be careful when they speak.
"Although the treasury was stolen, I didn't steal it, and I am not satisfied with the removal of my post!"
Xin Sha really hopes that there is a mirror in front of him to be able to see his expression clearly at this time, it must be very exciting, after all, it is the first time to hear this kind of strange remark: "If a soldier serves as the king's bodyguard, and one day the king is killed, he shouts before he is executed: Although the king has been killed, but the murderer is not me, cut off my head, I am not convinced! Guess what the onlookers will think of the melon-eating crowd?"
"He must have been wronged!"
Xin Sha couldn't laugh or cry, there was something wrong with this person's thinking, and it was no longer something he could interfere with.
"You fool! Lord Sinsa means to cure you for dereliction of duty!"
"But I have done my job well, and it is not my responsibility for the theft of the treasury, even if I stare at the door all the time, I should lose it or lose it. ”
Xinsha is too lazy to spend any more time with this goods, so instead of wasting time here, it is better to find some more useful clues.
Xin Sha looked around again, with the knocking and knocking, trying to find a secret passage or something, he really hadn't visited the treasury of various countries too much, only heard that there were usually hidden passages in the treasury.
"What is Lord Sinsha looking for?" Hoin finished dealing with his subordinates and followed him like a fart.
"Do you have any secret secrets or something?"
"No, our Duchy of Jero is a poor and famous country, and there are no treasures that need to be put into the dark passages. ”
Sinsha used earth-based phonetic magic to probe the ground, but found no tunnels or anything like that, and of course it was possible that thieves dug tunnels to empty the treasury and then filled them up.
Going around and around, and returning to the door of the treasury, Xin Sha stroked the texture on it and analyzed: "It can basically rule out the suspicion of violently breaking through from the main gate, then there is probably only one way left, Ah Wu, you will announce the answer." ”
Ah Wu, who was doing nothing and fiddling with a new toy, was suddenly named, and replied perfunctorily: "Enter openly." ”
Xinsha nodded: "Count you as passing." ”
Huo Yin cautiously reminded: "But there is a lock on the door of the treasury, and the lock has gone through seventy-seven and forty-nine processes and is made of the cloud iron of Tianyun Mountain, which is by no means a ...... that ordinary people can unlock."
Xinsha stretched out his hand: "Lend me the key." ”
Hoin pulled out the strange-shaped treasury key, which had just been confiscated from the head of the treasury.
Xinsha played with the metal key twice, and an identical key was generated in his left hand, but it was made of ice, and he was slightly proud: "What about now? Do you think it's definitely not something that ordinary people can unlock?"
Hoin said embarrassedly: "Ha, ha, this can only prove that Lord Sinsha's talent is not comparable to ordinary people." ”
"Okay, after seeing the mold of the key, there are many people who can imitate one, but it's still a bit complicated to do it with magic, but it's easy for alchemy. ”
"Are you saying that someone made a key to the treasury and walked in openly and ransacked it?"
Xinsha smiled strangely: "His Majesty seems to have naturally ignored the point of self-theft by the guards, maybe there is no such step as copying the key, and the person in charge or someone authorized by him will take this real key and empty the treasury justifiably?"
"Impossible! As an official, he is strictly controlled by the principality, it is impossible for him to make small moves, and the treasury assets cannot be underestimated, and it is definitely not something that a person like him can get involved in and successfully hide, not to mention that if it is really him, there is no reason to stay in such a dangerous palace after he succeeds. ”
Xinsha smiled: "His Majesty's eagerness to clear the suspicion of his vassals, and I will no longer make such remarks as 'the most dangerous place is the safest'. Let's discuss another situation, where the person in charge inadvertently got hold of the mold of the treasury key by someone with a heart......"
